Flight Club owner targets 45 new openings in five years
The owner of competitive socialising concept Flight Club is targeting more than 45 new openings over the next five years.
Red Engine, which also owns the Electric Shuffle concept, said it is planning to open six Flight Club and two Electric Shuffle venues this year, bringing its total estate to 39 sites.
The group said it hopes to expand its estate to 84 venues by the end of 2030.
This comes as Red Engine reports stronger sales amid its increased global expansion. The group revealed on Tuesday that its revenues to £77.1m in 2024, up by 15% compared to the previous year.
Steve Moore, chief executive and co-founder of Red Engine, said: “Expanding our footprint is about more than just opening new doors, it’s about considered, strategic growth and ensuring that every new market is the right fit for that community and our brands.
“With each new location, we’re watching the global presence of our brands strengthen.
“We’re incredibly excited to see what’s next as we continue this journey towards making Flight Club and Electric Shuffle household names across the globe.”
Red Engine opened its first venue in 2015 in Shoreditch, and has since expanded to regional locations outside of London such as Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The group has opened internationally in the likes of Dublin, New York, Las Vegas, and Melbourne.
